Necktie Assembly

ABSTRACT

A necktie assembly for combining a bowtie and a ribbon includes a bowtie that may be worn. A strap is coupled to the bowtie and the strap may to be wrapped around a neck of a user. A ribbon is coupled to the bowtie and the ribbon enhances visual appeal of the bowtie.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Field of the Disclosure

The disclosure relates to necktie devices and more particularly pertainsto a new necktie device for combining a bowtie and a ribbon.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above bygenerally comprising a bowtie that may be worn. A strap is coupled tothe bowtie and the strap may to be wrapped around a neck of a user. Aribbon is coupled to the bowtie and the ribbon enhances visual appeal ofthe bowtie.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more importantfeatures of the disclosure in order that the detailed descriptionthereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that thepresent contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There areadditional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafterand which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features ofnovelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out withparticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of thisdisclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than thoseset forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to thefollowing detailed description thereof. Such description makes referenceto the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a necktie assembly according to anembodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a back perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through3 thereof, a new necktie device embodying the principles and concepts ofan embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3, the necktie assembly 10generally comprises a bowtie 12 that may be worn. The bowtie 12 has acentral knot 14 and a pair of wings 16. Each of the wings 16 extendsaway from opposite sides of the central knot 14. The bowtie 12 may be apre-tied bowtie of the like. Additionally, the bowtie 12 may be worn toenhance an appearance of a user 18. The central knot 14 has a back side19.

A strap 20 is coupled to the bowtie 12 and the strap 20 may be wrappedaround the user's neck 21. The strap 20 may extend through the back side19 of the central knot 14. The strap 20 is continuous such that thestrap 20 forms a closed loop. The strap 20 includes an adjustment 22 andthe adjustment 22 may be manipulated. The adjustment 22 adjusts adiameter of the strap 20 between a minimum diameter and a maximumdiameter. Thus, the strap 20 may accommodate a variety of neck sizes.The strap 20 may comprise an adjustable bowtie strap or the like.

A ribbon 24 is coupled to the bowtie 12 and the ribbon 24 may enhancevisual appeal of the bowtie 12. The ribbon 24 is coupled to and extendsdownwardly from the central knot 14 and the ribbon is centrallypositioned on the bowtie 12. The ribbon 24 has a distal end 26 withrespect to the central knot 14 and the distal end 26 tapers to a point.Each of the bowtie 12, the strap 20 and the ribbon 24 may bemanufactured in a plurality of colors.

In use, the adjustment 22 is manipulated to adjust the strap 20 to themaximum diameter. The strap 20 is positioned around the user's neck 21having the ribbon 24 extending downwardly on the user's chest 28. Theadjustment 22 is manipulated to tighten the strap 20 around the user'sneck 21 to a selected tightness. The ribbon 24 enhances visual appeal ofthe bowtie 12 when the bowtie 12 is worn.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.

I claim:
 1. A necktie assembly comprising: a bowtie being configured tobe worn; a strap being coupled to said bowtie wherein said strap isconfigured to be wrapped around a neck of a user; and a ribbon beingcoupled to said bowtie wherein said ribbon is configured to enhancevisual appeal of said bowtie.
 2. The assembly according to claim 1,wherein said bowtie has a central knot and a pair of wings extendingaway from said central knot.
 3. The assembly according to claim 1,wherein said strap is continuous such that said strap forms a closedloop, said strap including a adjustment wherein said adjustment isconfigured to be manipulated, said adjustment adjusting a diameter ofsaid strap between a minimum diameter and a maximum diameter whereinsaid strap is configured to accommodate a variety of neck sizes.
 4. Theassembly according to claim 2, wherein said ribbon being coupled to andextending downwardly from said knot such that said ribbon is centrallypositioned on said bowtie, said ribbon having a distal end with respectto said knot, said distal end tapering to a point.
 5. A necktie assemblycomprising: a bowtie being configured to be worn, said bowtie having acentral knot and a pair of wings extending away from said central knot;a strap being coupled to said bowtie wherein said strap is configured tobe wrapped around a neck of a user, said strap being continuous suchthat said strap forms a closed loop, said strap including a adjustmentwherein said adjustment is configured to be manipulated, said adjustmentadjusting a diameter of said strap between a minimum diameter and amaximum diameter wherein said strap is configured to accommodate avariety of neck sizes; and a ribbon being coupled to said bowtie whereinsaid ribbon is configured to enhance visual appeal of said bowtie, saidribbon being coupled to and extending downwardly from said knot suchthat said ribbon is centrally positioned on said bowtie, said ribbonhaving a distal end with respect to said knot, said distal end taperingto a point.
